Urban musical archeology (momentarily off Sun Ra topic)
About the "old signboard in the attic or the basement advertising Sunny's gig at the Grand Terrace," does anyone know anything about the other person advertised on the signboard, Dorres [?] Burrage? Drummer Ronnie Burrage is interested. I forwarded him a copy of the signboard photo, and he replied, "Thank you, I will have to look into this. My family in Chicago played, but I only knew about the Sanders side. My grandmother's brother, father, uncles?" About Ronnie, he has played music with Richard Davis, John Hicks, Andrew Hill, Jackie McLean, David Murray, Jaco Pastorius, Sonny Rollins, Woody Shaw, McCoy Tyner, Reggie Workman, et al. Ronnie teaches at Penn State and can be reached at rodrummusic@gmail.com.

That links leads to another photo of the same sign http://therestaurantproject.wordpress.com/2012/05/24/the-sunset/vluu-l310-w-samsung-l310-w-131/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunset_Cafe indicates that the Grand Terrace closed in 1950 which would make this very early Ra indeed! .. N
